Lemon Tree Care

Hi, I’ve grown my lemon tree from seed and cut it back a couple of times over the past two years however it’s recently had a growth spurt and I’m unsure how to cut it back now so that I don’t harm it. Ideally I’d like to encourage it to grow outwards instead of upwards! I’ve attached photos and any help would be very much appreciated
